I have been a jiaoyou.com member for a few weeks.
It seems that people are using random picture of good looking man or woman to
post as themselves. I have seen different person with the same picture of good
looking woman. I have also seen guys posted picture of male model.
I guess it's getting harder and harder to find someone with sincerity and
honesty. Why would anybody do that is beyond me, if you are truly sincere in
your intention of finding your special someone, you can't and should not start
off the wrong foot by lying about the essence of your identity. Unless your
sole purpose is to get some attention and try to feel good about yourself that
more people are clicking on your profile.
Although look is quite important, however it is not the most essential thing
about a man or a woman. I value someone's integrity and honesty more, and then
follow by personality and intelligence. I value a person's personality because
it's important that she should have a bright outlook on life and I want to feel
happy when I spend some time w/ the person. I value her integrity and honesty
because while look will fade, but a person's character and principle stays with
her for life.
I'm not showing my picture to everybody because I'm actually a very private
person. I want to spend the time to really get to know a person before I gave
out my key to open my picture. I really don't appreciate it when the first
thing people notice about me is my look, not the warm and friendly smile I
flash proudly.
